^, k thanks.

In other words, "If you want something with laptop like power, just get a damned laptop!"

I read the article, I watched the demo video from the website. Still not convinced he really knows what he's talking about. I for one don't want my touch-based interface married to a kb/m based interface to create some hybrid interface. I want a sleek kb/m ui that doesn't distract, and I want my touch-based device ui's to present content to me quickly, naturally, and contextually. The more buttons/tabs/windows/widgets I have to touch to get to my content, the worse I feel the UI is. I'm for simplicity with underlying complexity, not complexity with underlying simplicity.

but more importantly, a platform that will attract developers... Sadly, they neither have compelling hardware, compelling software, or an eco-system that would promote the platform off the ground... Sad really...

+1 and seconded...

...the boxes that sit on the shelf do not "constantly remind us of the beauty within"... instead they constantly remind us that in a year, we will need those boxes to sell the apple product on ebay or craigslist in order for us to purchase the next apple product...

...nothing says 'I Quit!' like getting your dick sucked...

If they would make pc's that I would actually buy, this wouldn't happen. "Ultra-books" are not sleek looking, nor thin (in most cases). They don't hold a candle to the Macbook Air despite a lot of windows users wanting something that does. The PC Market is flat-lining because there really isn't much innovation happening on the pc hardware front-end... I still have a brick of a desktop, a brick of a laptop, and no one seems to care that Apple is killing PC makers with their sleek looking macbook pro's and their fresh hardware... Gimme a Laptop Air that runs Windows or hell, Linux, and I'll buy it in a heartbeat...

+500000 to this... Every time microsoft announces something "new" hardware wise that isn't revolved around the XBox brand... it fails... and fails hard... I'm not worried at all what microsoft does, or sells, or develops cause all of their past attempts have been garbage. XBox 360 + peripherals (Kinect) are the only good things coming from the hardware division as of late... Their software division and pc/tablet/notebook/ultrabook divisions are pure and utter retardation (opinion of course)...

Source?

marketing speak for "shit we fucked up"

sudo apt-get install gnome2? then switch shell in gdm login? the sudo apt-get remote unity, sudo apt-get purge unity, sudo apt-get never again request unity for the love of god? sudo aptitude block unity universe source so as to never check for it again!

I just got schooled....

"What America WAS capable of." Keyword there is was.

I mean, sure, iTunes sucks, but not because of the infrastructure... but because of Apple's walled garden of robbery. I don't get what the articles gripes are other than someone trying to troll over a network system and infrastructure they know nothing about...
